best gaming laptops techradar image

I recently got a new hp dv6-6195ca laptop an it has 8gb of ram, Do you think 16gb of ram too much.
I do play games on it
AND what are the benefits of having 16gb.
Oh and the max memory is up-gradable to 16gb so don't worry about that
Answer
There is never to much ram. Ram that is not accessable to the operating system may be useless (unless used by something else like a ramdrive) but it won't do any harm either. 64 bit windows can however access 16Gb of memory so better to have it then to not have it.
One practical use of having 16Gb instead of 8Gb might be the almost total elimination of the need to use the swapfile, and minimizing the need to reload applications more then 1 time, increasing the lifespan of the hdd and making the computer run an smoothly as possible.
Turning of virtuall memory may not be a good idea though:

What computer would be best for me?
Olivia
I'm a bit of a gamer, I remix music and make short films. I have an HP laptop that in December I would have had for four years, and it's not workin very good anymore. It's really slow at everything and when I try to play music out loud, it can barely play for ten seconds without skipping. Can someone help me find a new laptop suitable for everything I do? If not, can someone help me get my computer back to working like it used to?
Answer
Just yahoo for "best laptops" and look for some reviews after first thinking about what you want and what your budget is.
Some important topics are:
batterylife: if you need to use the laptop on the go then batterylife is of course extremely important. if you want to use the laptop on the go i'd go for at least 7 hours of batterylife.
buildquality: i for instance don't like laptops that get hot. often reviews wil tell something about the build-quality and if for instance the laptop gets hot when under load.
screensize and quality: a bigger screen means often less batterylife, so if batterylife is important choose a bit smaller screen but with good resolution. also the brightness is very important, especially when using the laptop in brightly lit rooms. Another issue might be reflections.
touchscreen: a touchscreen is a big plus when using windows 8, but it costs.
tablet or hybrid: maybe a tablet or hybrid (with removable screen that can act as tablet) can be a good choice, especially is mobility is important.
performance: often the better the performance the worse the batterylife. a good mix between performance and batterylife might be an i5 plus hd 4000 integrated graphics with 4-6 Gb of memory. An ssd wil make booting a lot faster also.

If you want a powerfull machine and don't care that much about mobility then this might be a good choice:
